Year 9 Development Project

Your extended homework is posted here. Remember to focus on the success criteria. Useful links are below:
A good starting point is Global Eye. This is an online magazine with loads of interactive stuff and aimed at you in terms of the language it uses. Specific items you might find useful are the issue on Malaysia (which has some good information on the economy). Uganda is also covered here.
If you need to understand the broader issues then Human Development report is the place for you. Or are you after facts, then try the CIA Factbook.
Want a discussion of some of the issues try globalissues.org (we will use this later when we look at causes of poverty and under-development)
Why not take a test to help you understand - BBC bitesize
